Community Information

Our pledge to our community is strong!

South Louisiana Bank opened for business in June of 1980, as one of 5 locally owned institutions. Since that time only SLB has remained locally owned. Banners have been hung from each location and billboards posted “This bank is not for sale”! It’s not a gimmick, it’s a commitment. The Board of Directors, the stockholders, and the employees know the importance of community banking. As one of 10 institutions now in Terrebonne Parish, we continue to grow and thrive with consistent management and an ability to meet the needs of our customers. We see and hear from our customers how much we mean to them.

South Louisiana Bank provides banking services to Terrebonne and the surrounding area. We currently employ 130 people in Terrebonne Parish. The bank was originally capitalized with $2,000,000. Today we are strong, stable, and growing with assets of over $200,000,000. With ever increasing competition, SLB has managed 12% growth in assets and 30% growth in net revenues over the past three years. As we grow, so does our employee base, increasing by 27% over the same time period. In the past year we opened our newest branch in Little Bayou Black, and have opened four locations over the past six years. Many people feel that all banks are the same. We truly disagree. As a community bank we care. We want your banking experience to be special. With locations in Terrebonne Parish only, we can never give up our customers. In good and bad economic times we have survived and prospered. We have twice been named by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 100 business lending banks in the United States. We are proud of that distinction and continue to work to improve our products, services, and customers service to enhance our relationships. As a locally owned bank we feel as though we are doing our part to enhance economic activity for the parish. This year SLB distributed $975,000 in dividends to its local shareholders.
